I have pretty much the same attitude.
I started out with Stevens. Both of my trainers taught me to maintain the right lane even though a car is trying to merge into traffic. They did say that I could adjust my speed but to stay in the lane. The reasoning is that each time that you change lanes you are increasing the chances for an accident.
Lately I have even stopped trying to slow down for cars. I dont know how many I have hit the brakes for then they hit the brakes and swerve to the right shoulder as if I was swerving into them. Those people scare me.
I have had my CDL for several years now with no accidents and I want to keep it that way!
That being said, I always try to move over for a merging truck.x#1 Thanks this. -
When cars are on the on-ramp trying to merge, I usually give them a quick blast of the air horn. You cannot imagine, how many times they are on the PHone, putting on makeup or reading something.
I Keep my foot on brake in case they do something stupid. They speed up or slow way down to merge after I pass.DrtyDiesel Thanks this.
